The license is the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html#SEC1">GNU General Public License (GPL)</a> and full sourcecode is available from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://panotools.sf.net/">panotools sourceforge site</a>.
</p><p><b>pano12</b> is currently used by many front-end<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/GUI_front-ends">[*]</a> and command-line programs. The file itself may be called pano12.dll, libpano12.so, libpano12.dylib or pano12.lib depending on the operating system.
</p><p>Due to apparent patent issues with <a href="Fisheye_Projection.html" title="Fisheye Projection">fisheye</a> lenses, some distributed versions of the library (including the one hosted on sourceforge) have an artificial limitation of 160 degrees placed on the maximum <a href="Field_of_View.html" title="Field of View">Field of View</a> of source images.

<p>If you build pano12 from sourcecode<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/Build_pano12_from_sourcecode">[*]</a>, various helper applications are built at the same time:
</p>
<ul><li><a href="PTOptimizer.html" title="PTOptimizer">PTOptimizer</a>  Optimizes positions and sizes of images using <a href="Control_points.html" title="Control points">control point</a> data.</li>
<li><a href="Panoinfo.html" title="Panoinfo">panoinfo</a> reports useful information about the currently installed version of pano12.</li>
<li><a href="PTmender.html" title="PTmender">PTmender</a> a replacement for <a href="PTStitcher.html" title="PTStitcher">PTStitcher</a>.</li>
<li><a href="PTblender.html" title="PTblender">PTblender</a> implements just the colour and brightness correction of <a href="PTmender.html" title="PTmender">PTmender</a>.</li>
<li><a href="PTtiff2psd.html" title="PTtiff2psd">PTtiff2psd</a> Converts a set of <a href="TIFF.html" title="TIFF">TIFF</a> files into a <a href="PSD.html" class="mw-redirect" title="PSD">PSD</a> file, similar to Erik Krause's stitching actions<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/Stitching_actions">[*]</a>.</li></ul>
<h2><a name="Downloading_pre-compiled_versions"><span class="mw-headline">Downloading pre-compiled versions</span></a></h2>
<p>The original <b>pano12</b> library for Linux, Mac classic and Windows can be downloaded from one of the mirrors<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/Mirrors">[*]</a>, though you probably want to download a newer version containing many bugfixes and speed improvements:
</p><p>For Linux and other unix systems, look at the <a href="Hugin.html" title="Hugin">Hugin</a> download page.  Currently packages are available for debian, fedora, gentoo, mandrake and probably others.
</p><p>For OS X a version is supplied with <a href="Hugin.html" title="Hugin">Hugin</a> or PTMac<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/PTMac">[*]</a>.
</p><p>For Windows you might download pano12.dll from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.photocreations.ca/panotools/">Photocreations</a> or <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://sf.net/projects/panotools/">sourceforge</a>, you can also find it bundled with PTAssembler<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/PTAssembler">[*]</a> and PTGui<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/PTGui">[*]</a>.
